Isn't Kaby Lake the usual 10% "performance increase" for more X amount of dollars Intel has been doing for a decade?
Their CPUs are good because there isn't anything better, but their commercial practices have been worst than cancer.
- seanp2k2 10y agoTL;DR everyone expected an IPC increase with Kaby Lake and Intel brought more performance only via higher clocks. They're either having issues innovating, betting that Ryzen will not be all AMD is talking it up to be, they're a bit caught with their pants down, or some combination. IMO worst-case for them is they push Coffee Lake and Skylake-X out sooner and drop prices across the board (especially on HEDT >4 core stuff) to compete with AMD. Then once enthusiasts have access to <$2k PCs with 8 cores and the power of 2x1080GTX we can realistically power 4K VR @120FPS. Having games to actually make people want VR would also really help, so far not many AAA titles to use with it.
